Comment: I had trouble staying asleep at night, This works great. I only have to take 50mg. The only side affect I get is if I take it to early before bed, I get a really sick feeling that sometimes makes it hard to fall asleep.

Comment: I was given this drug to help me sleep, when
my Husband died suddenly. I have used it
cautiously, when I have trouble sleeping. I
have restless legs, which I also am treated
for by my MD. But I don't abuse the drug, I
take only 1/2 tab. occasionally. Have been
taking it this way for the past 9 years.
With no apparent problems that I know of.
